Buffalo Racing in Nongprue - Pattaya People

 

 

Over the past weekend, Nongprue Municipality held its annual Buffalo Racing Festival, one of the most energetic and traditional of Thai contests.  In cooperation with the Chonburi Administration Office, Pattaya City Hall, Pong Municipality, the Tourism Authority of Thailand, Pattaya Region, the Culture Council of Nongprue and Banglamung continued their time-honored Buffalo Racing at Mabprachan Reservoir. The beautiful but enormous beasts raced across the fields, vying for the top prizes, and everyone made sure to stay out of their way. The water buffalo pairs had to race through some 10 centimeters of mud and water, which seriously slowed the critters down. But at least the sun was out, and this year, Horse Racing was also added for extra excitement and fun.
